Another week of good NBA basketball is behind us, and now we've seen another big shift in the rankings for a pair of teams, and a lot of slight churning for the teams at the top and bottom.
The Warriors and Clippers both continue to play at a very high level, while the Cavs struggled until getting a win against the Raptors yesterday. The Lakers are this teams big dropper, falling eight spots to end up near the bottom feeders. Missing D'Angelo Russell is hurting them, as they are turning the ball over on 14% of their offensive posessions, rankng 26th in the league. Even worse though, is their ability to guard opposing shooters, who are hitting a league best 53.3% effective field goal percentage against the Lakers. The Bucks are the big riser, jumping nine spots up, who did theirs by posting a defensive efg% of just 48.3 Giannis Antetokounmpo is leading the charge with 1.4 defensive win shares, allowing a shooting percentage of just 44.1
